"What did you just say?"

Ye Luan rose to her feet in a luxurious bedchamber. Her eyes flickered with a cold light as she said, "Did you just say that the little sl*t, Gu Lan, is on her way to stop me from marrying Xia Linyu?"

"That's right, Your Royal Highness. Based on our spy's report, she has returned to the Dragon Moon Empire and she has even brought backup this time."

"Backup?" Ye Luan sneered, "Who is this backup that she has brought?"

"Reporting to the Princess, the backup Gu Lan has brought is a young woman."

"Hehe."

Ye Luan sniggered coldly when she heard this and the corners of her lips curled in disdain. "A young girl is not a big enough threat for me! Besides, I still have Xia Linyu under my control! I don't think that these people could just take Xia Linyu away from under my nose! They're simply reckless!"

I had allowed that little slut, Gu Lan, to escape not too long ago but I never thought that she would still risk her life and return! If this was not reckless behavior, what is? Does she think that just because she has brought help that she could take Xia Linyu away?

"Servants!"

Ye Luan's expression sank as she ordered coldly, "Inform all the powerful cultivators in the palace to come with me to the palace gates and welcome that little sl*t, Gu Lan!"

Ye Luan then straightened her robes and left the bedchamber.

The guards who had been guarding the gates of the Imperial Palace were flung to the ground. Two women then stepped into the Imperial Palace.

"Where's Yu'er?" Gu Ruoyun raised her hand to lift one of the guards off the ground. She then asked in a chilly voice, "Tell me now, where's Yu'er?"

The guard ignored her question and scoffed icily, "This is the Dragon Moon Empire's Imperial Palace. You must be tired of living if you have the audacity to act with impudence here! Offending the Imperial Family is the path to death."

Slam!

Gu Ruoyun threw the guard against the palace gate. His head collided with the large gate and he slumped to the ground immediately.

"Speak, where's Yu'er?"

Gu Ruoyun then walked towards the other guard and asked in a cold voice.

The other guard had gone pale from fright after witnessing his companion's grisly end. He stammered, "He's in the rear palace with... With Her Royal Highness, the Princess!"

Wham!

Gu Ruoyun also flung the other guard out of the way. Just as she was about to make her way into the rear palace, a graceful woman led a group of guards towards them.

Gu Lan's expression changed in an instant. Her eyes were nearly spitting fire as she said, "Sister Gu, she's Ye Luan, the one who's detaining Yu'er unjustly!"

"Gu Lan!"

Ye Luan walked towards Gu Lan and stared coldly at her. "I never thought that you'd have the nerve to show your face again here. What? Are you purposely sending yourself to the grave because you didn't die the last time? You even had the audacity to accuse me of detaining Sir Xia. We are clearly in love and will be married soon! The only one he will marry in this lifetime is me!"

Gu Lan's face turned red from anger. "You're speaking nonsense. You're the reason why Yu'er no longer remembers me. You've clearly done something to him."

This accusation caused Ye Luan to laugh. Her eyes were filled with disdain.

"Gu Lan, he doesn't remember you because your charms are not as great as mine. Why would he remember you after meeting me? If you're here to attend my wedding, I absolutely welcome you. If you're here to cause trouble, I won't remain courteous!"

As Ye Luan was mocking Gu Lan, a chilly voice suddenly rang out, "You have three minutes. Hand Yu'er over or I will raze the Dragon Moon Empire to the ground!"
